## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability globalrules-travel-kit-full-country-briefing-a248799f
```

Example prompt: I'm planning a trip to the Philippines — can you pull up a full travel briefing covering visa rules, what I can bring through customs duty-free, plug types, emergency numbers, tap water safety, SIM options, public holidays, tipping norms, tourist taxes, and driving rules?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs comprehensive pre-trip country intelligence in a single call rather than making 10–15 separate lookups for visa, customs, plugs, holidays, etc. It is especially cost-effective at $0.02 per call when multiple travel facts are needed simultaneously. Prefer it over single-fact endpoints when building travel itinerary assistants, trip planning workflows, or onboarding travelers to a new destination. Not ideal when only one specific fact (e.g., just the VAT rate) is needed, in which case the sibling single-fact endpoints may be more appropriate.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid ISO country code returns an error or empty response
- Country not in the 178-country database returns a not-found error
- Stale data if government sources have not been recently refreshed
- Network timeout from the Render-hosted service under load
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents access to the response

## How this service works

Cheaper than 15 single calls. Example: /api/v1/kit/travel/JP
